Background
This is a public community website for the purposes of
presenting the music of the MoBetta Jam Experience to the
online world. It is owned and operated by MightyD aka Dave Hayes for the
MoBetta Jam Experience (the "we" in this document). This
document represents the rules and regulations we expect
all users (the "you" in this document) to understand
and follow while they are here.
Administrative Information
Please send mail to:
mobetta-admin@mobettajam.com
for all administrative issues.
Operating principles of this site
Here are the overriding operational principles of this site.
These aren't rules that you need to follow, these are the basic
ideas by which we administrate the site. You should be familiar
with these, as they will impact everything you do here.
We (The MoBetta Jam Experience) are the last and
final word on all administrative matters regarding this site.
It's our house, after all.
All standards of judgment used in resolving
administrative issues involving this site are ours and ours
alone. Said another way, there are no objective
standards when it comes to our adjudication of
administrative issues.
This means we get to decide, based on our whim, what is
actionable abuse here. Thus, if you are seeking definitions
of concepts like "spamming", "hateful", "abusive", or
anything else, you won't find any complete and comprehensive
definition here. We'll decide what behavior is and is not
"spamming", "hateful", etc. If in doubt, ask. If you disagree
with our standards, leave.
We reserve the exclusive right to delete or
modify anything on this site.
Again, it's our house. You can hang out here, but if
you soil the carpet or throw trash everywhere we will likely
kick you out.
Rules of this site
We expect you to honor and respect others in your
comments. Each mind has it's own way. Recognize this and
consider it well.
Personal attacks (aka Argumentia Ad Hominem), hateful
speech, useless flamewars, and other negative artifacts of
mass public communication are not really wanted here.
We will actively discourage negativity with no
other purpose than the negativity itself. This does not mean
negative comments are not allowed, it just means that
negative commentary should still be constructive in some
small way.
For example, saying "your opinion is stupid" and nothing
else is just negative. Better would be to say "your opinion
is stupid because..." followed by some explanation as to why
it is stupid.
Spamming will not be tolerated here.
Blatant commercial advertising, without compensating
us, will not be tolerated here. If you want to advertise
here, send a mail to the administration and we can work
something out.
Your Privacy Policy
Keep in mind that this is the internet. Please do
not post information here that you consider to be personal
or private. Any information posted in our public sections by
you is automatically in the public domain and will likely be
available by a well crafted google search. We are not
responsible for your inability to keep your private and
personal information private.
Other than the private forums here (which people cannot
see without access), if you need private communications, use
another medium like electronic mail.
Our Privacy Policy
Privacy is very important to us. To better protect
your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online
information practices and the choices you can make about the
way your information is collected and used.
The Information We Collect
The only personal information collected upon signing up
for an account is a working email address and an IP
address.
The Way We Use Information
We use your email address for the following reasons:
To send a confirmation email when you sign up for an account
To allow you to reset your password if you lose or forget your old one.
To send you an automated notice if a story you submit is accepted or declined.
To inform you of various events related to The MoBetta Jam Experience from time to time.
To have an administrator contact you if circumstances arise where this is required
No other use is now or ever will be made of this
address. Unless you are trying to hack our site or we are
required to do so by a law enforcement agency, your IP address
will never be used.
We will not send you any other email unless you contact
us first and specifically request information, technical
help, or editorial assistance. We do not sell this address,
or link it to any other personal information.
You may also, after signing up, change your real email
address to an invalid one. If you do this, you are giving up
any ability to automatically reset your password or to
contact an administrator about your account. If you feel it
is important though, you are welcome to do so.
How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information
You can access all your personally identifiable
information (except your IP address) that we collect online
and maintain by logging in, and clicking the "User
Preferences" link in the box on the right-hand side of every
page. If you are logged in right now, then clicking
this link will take
you to your edit page. To protect your privacy and
security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify
your identity before granting access or making
corrections, by requiring you to enter your current
password before changing any of your user information.
